If I rotate right, and then select:
Edit -> Orientation -> Apply the orientation to image content
I get the following message:
Really continue?
there are unsaved metadata changes for the file
[Cancel] [Continue]
The lowercase "t" looks like it might be a minor error here.
When I select [Continue] nothing actually happens, and while the image is still
rotated right in my preview pane, the image thumbnail is not, and if I close and
open with another image viewer, I can see that nothing has changed.
Additionally, this menu option doesn't have a keyboard shortcut, so even if it
did work for me, it would be awkward to use for thousands of images, as I
regularly find myself processing. Ah, the joys of digital cameras!
Would you consider adding:
{ - "hard" rotate the image counter-clockwise
} - "hard" rotate the image clockwise
I could then shortcut this whole process for a single image, or put Caps Lock
and "hard" rotate a whole collection of images.

If I load up two images, rotate both and then delete one, and then quit, I see:
Write metadata?
This will write the changed metadata to the following files
X example-a.jpg
Y example-b.jpg
[File details] [Discard changes] [Cancel] [OK]
Where X is a red circle with a cross, and Y is a green tick.
If I press [OK] I get the following message:
This operation can't continue:
example-a.jpg: file or directory does not exist
[Cancel]
And pressing [Cancel] returns me to the original dialogue.
This has the effect of disabling the [OK] button, which means I can only discard
my changes or cancel my request to quit the application. This means that if I
delete any files, I loose all the changes I may have made to other files.
Thanks,
